Vaughn played his first three seasons of prep ball at Robbinsdale Cooper High near Minneapolis. He transferred to Findlay Prep in Las Vegas for his senior year and is averaging 20 points per game.

Iowa State was thought to be UNLV's main competition for Vaughn, along with North Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas.
